Abstract:
... There has been a limited amount of peer-reviewed literature on long-term trends in electricity reliability including the underlying factors that impact reliability across the United States. In this analysis, we considered up to 16 years of data from 203 U S. utilities—representing about 70% of electricity sales. Annual frequency of interruptions for an average customer—at the regional and U.S. nat ...

Abstract:
... Divisions between political Liberals and Conservatives on environmental issues seem to be widening, with Liberals generally more pro-environmental than Conservatives. We propose that common framing of environmental messages tends to perpetuate these gaps. We designed two experiments to examine this assumption and explore the prospects of narrowing these divisions using communication based on moral ...

Abstract:
... Spatial discretization is the cornerstone of all spatially-distributed numerical simulations including watershed hydrology. Traditional square grid spatial discretization has several limitations including inability to represent adjacency uniformly. In this study, we developed a watershed delineation model (HexWatershed) based on the hexagon grid spatial discretization. We applied this model to two ...

Currently, state legislative bodies and committees may consider up to eight criteria when determining the boundaries of districts and this paper focuses on one of those criteria, equal population. Congressional districts (CDs) are dr ...

Abstract:
... Baseflow is the slowly varying portion of streamflow, and it is essential for sustaining river flows. Several methods have been developed for separating baseflow from streamflow. However, due to the lack of measured baseflow, past studies generally compared these baseflow separation methods qualitatively based on their hydrologic plausibility. To quantitively determine which baseflow separation me ...

This paper exploits the May 2013 taper tantrum episode in the United States to study the reaction of 18 large emerging markets to an external shock, conditioning on their degree of inflation expectations’ anchoring. We find that while the tapering announcement negatively affected growth prospec ...

The extent of that geographical polarization is explored at the county and SMSA scales for the presidential elections held between 1992 and 2016 and also, at the much finer, precinct, scale for the 2008, 2012 and 2016 elections. The patterns that emerge show that much of non-metr ...

This paper estimates a Behavioral New Keynesian model to revisit the evidence that passive US monetary policy in the pre-1979 sample led to indeterminate equilibria and sunspot-driven fluctuations, while active policy after 1982, by satisfying the Taylor principle, was instrumental in restoring macroeconomic stability.The model assumes “cognitive discounting”, i.e., consumers and firms pay less at ...

To address environmental and social concerns, the slow fashion model has arisen not as merely the antithesis of fast fashion but a holistic philosophy that seeks to change the modes of production and consumption. Grounded by self-concept theory, we proposed a comprehensive model of slow fashion that depicts the effects of moral self-identity and proximity of clothing to self on behavioral intentio ...
